Leaders are faced with dilemmas every day that flow from human interactions at work. And they are so often disruptive, time-consuming, potentially create division among your staff and test you as a leader. You need time to reflect…..you need space in the morning to listen to Rachel Cashman and Simon Fanshawe eating these problems for breakfast. Fearless Diversity is the candid podcast that tackles the real dilemmas bosses, managers, and leaders face every day – around accountability, decision-making, workplace dynamics, conflict, and organisational culture and their people. Join Rachel Cashman and Simon Fanshawe — two of the foremost thought leaders in workplace diversity, leadership, and inclusion — as they dive into honest conversations that get to the heart of it. We have the conversations you want to have.



Rachel brings real-world, high-level implementation experience - expertise that CEOs and managers can trust, learn from, and enlist when they need results and to ensure their teams perform at their best. Simon adds his clout as a highly respected broadcaster, author, and inclusion specialist. They don’t always agree — and that’s the point. Rachel and Simon argue, disagree, and explore different perspectives, and always with resolution and insight – modelling the difficult conversations leaders need to have. It’s a podcast for thoughtful leaders who want to reflect, rather than shout or be shouted at. Fearless Diversity is the place to think differently about today’s trickiest human issues at work.

    12 Days of Fearless Diversity Xmas
    2025/12/18
    It’s Christmas. It’s almost the end of the year and it’s the latest episode of Fearless Diversity.Rachel and Simon polish off the twelve days of Christmas with their final six key issues of 2025. In place of geese, swans, maids, ladies, lords, pipers and drummers, they surprised themselves to discover nuance, ethical dilemmas, previously unthought thoughts and a continuation of their honest examinations rather than ideological assumptions.Looking back over the issues that have touched people’s lives and lit our passions this year we explore assisted dying, academic freedom, data and privacy, impartiality and shifting media ownership and why we prefer politicians to be frank and straight-talking whatever party they come from. Exploring our uncertainties as much as our convictions, we continue to have the conversations you want to have. So, “Happy Christmas” to everyone who listens and we’ll see you in 2026.

    12 Days of Fearless Diversity Xmas
    2025/12/11
    In this week’s episode, Rachel and Simon pull on their Christmas jumpers and look back at a year of fearless diversity. But instead of a partridge, turtle doves, French hens, calling birds, gold rings and geese, their first “Six Days of Christmas” are:📌 The Employment Rights Bill📌 The surge in ADHD, autism and wider mental health diagnoses📌 What really happened to the so-called “diversity backlash”📌 The national shame of violence against women – and what it means for workplaces📌 Significant employment tribunals and the defence of lawful belief📌 The aftermath of the Supreme Court judgment in For Women ScotlandThreaded through all six are a hard, practical set of questions:Is there a widening gap between ambitious language (on rights, inclusion, safety, mental health) and the real machinery of guidance, training and governance needed to deliver?Does our capacity, competence and confidence in people management lag what these pressures demand?Are law and policy being asked to settle deep social disagreements, leaving institutions exposed, anxious and unsure how to act without legal or reputational blowback?Are people simply tired of performative gestures and hungry for visible fairness, safety, and competence instead?Amid culture-war noise and contested change, is there finally an appetite for more grown-up, practical responses in workplaces and in public life?Join Simon and Rachel for this week’s Christmas special, and feel free to comment, share, disagree and enjoy.RESOURCES:Sir Charlie Mayfield interviewed by Anna Foster on Radio 4’s Today Program (05/12/2025)https://tinyurl.com/3k6e2dhtCharlie Mayfield Review Keep Britain Working Review: Discovery - GOV.UKSarah Everard’s mother’s statement on her daughter’s murderhttps://tinyurl.com/5amt8kuxLady Elish Angiolini (former solicitor general for Scotland) on the release of The Angiolini Inquiry Part 2 First Report: Prevention of sexually motivated crimes against women in publichttps://tinyurl.com/3u9yp656Higgs v Farmor’s School – Appeal Court judgementhttps://tinyurl.com/29sd8ayyMiller v University of BristolThe original judgementhttps://tinyurl.com/49exnbjvThis is being appealed – the hearing was on 12-14th November 2025.

    Taking Down the Wall

    Tearing Down the Wall: A Fearless Diversity Look at Fairness

    Three kids, a wall, and those famous different-sized “equity” boxes. Helpful metaphor or the reason that to so many leaders and colleagues think the boxes look like unfairness?

    In this episode of Fearless Diversity, Rachel and Simon start with that much-used cartoon and end up somewhere much more interesting: how do we remove the barriers to people’s talent and empower them to achieve to the extent of their potential?

    Are those “equity” boxes giving people the perception of an unfair advantage? To create greater opportunity shouldn’t we be taking the wall down altogether? And what does that look like if you’re a CEO, HRD, regulator or team leader trying to recruit, promote and manage fairly without getting lost in culture-war noise?

    Rachel brings her psychological-safety and trauma-informed leadership lens; Simon brings his unique approach to diversity rooted in goals and outcomes rather than gestures and politics. Together they unpack quotas, merit, the “tyranny of low expectations”, neurodiversity, and why pointing and punishing rarely changes anything.


    We ask how we can (to quote the great black American profess Glen Loury “acknowledge racial disparities without invoking the language of white supremacy. And … pursue equality without promoting guilt or resentment”?


    If you’ve ever wondered:

    • When does equity become unlawful?
    • How do we support people who meet the skills threshold to succeed?
    • How do we challenge racism and sexism without turning everything into oppressor vs oppressed?

    …this one’s for you. Smart, practical, occasionally spicy and definitely more useful than another slogan on a slide.


    How woke and anti-woke erase blackness We must see race, but not be ruled by it
